Multi synthetic fuel products production from waste and flue gas using the carbon effect technique.

Abstract

The usage of fossil fuels and accumulation of waste into landfills have a negative effect on the environment and generates climate changes. Waste and flue gas conversions into multi alternative synthetic fuel products and energy have the potential for CO2 emission reduction by using the complete circular economy and the carbon effect technique. The novelties of this study include the carbon effect technique, which predetermines the amounts of products' production and energies' heat flows, dependent on the carbon amount, into raw materials, and predetermined carbon conversion into CO and CO2. This technique also contains a simpler mathematical model for predetermining the amount of different synthetic fuel products' production using the same raw material and process units. The individual synthetic fuels with different addition amounts can also be used as a new fuel mixture.  This approach is illustrated by the multi alternative production of synthetic fuel productions, such as methanol, ethanol and gasoline, by using MSW and flue gas, and the carbon technique, which can reduce CO2 emissions by 3.5 106 kmol/a.
